In 2013, Carol Herring was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her life changed forever. In our interview, she tells her story of survival, and shares valuable advice about how to communicate with cancer. Her positive attitude is inspirational, and her smile infectious.

Many of us know someone who has had cancer, or for some, have experienced it first-hand. But sometimes we simply avoid discussing it and don't know what to say when talking about cancer with a loved one. Do you call? Do you reach out? And on the patient side, how do you ask for help?

In this episode, we'll talk about:

The people side of the cancer journey

How to honestly and authentically talk about illness

How to ask your friends and family for help

The power of positivity and gratitude

Battling body issues and being beautifully empowered

Lessons to share for patients-- communications advice and beyond

We hope you're as inspired by Carol's story as we are.
